Thanks, I'll look into it

Interesting idea! So basically cement.

I'm having my in-ground pool removed and am looking for ideas on what to replace it with. The area around it is artificial turf, so I'd rather not use grass. Anything that won't require much maintenance?

Just went to Home Depot Bethesda, MD. They have these inside: $4.00, date code 21 194 Pool Essentials 1 Gal. Pool Chlorinating Liquid-26128ESS - The Home Depot $15.98 date code 21 194 Pool Essentials Pool Chlorinating Liquid (4-Pack)-26489355392 - The Home Depot Brickseek said they had zero...

Great find! That's 1920 oz for $30, or .104oz. I wish they were open Sat/Sun. Sodium Hypochlorite

Do you have a link? Is this deal dead? I found this but it's $2.60. Great Value Cleaning Bleach, 128 fl oz - Walmart.com

The cheapest I've found is $2.99 for 128oz 10% at Ace Hardware. http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=95513356 Menards has 1 gallon 12.5% for $3.55 after MIR...

Strosniders (Ace) in Potomac, MD also has an ad that says HTH Liquid Chlorinator at 10% for 2.99. I went yesterday and it didn't scan at sale price, but the lady gave it to me when I showed her the ad online. Link: HTH Liquid Chlorinator (11182) - Pool Chemicals - Ace Hardware Ad: Stronsniders...

The cheapest I've found near me is 128oz $3.64 at Wal-Mart. If you know of anything cheaper in MD/DC/VA, please let me know!

What city and state and where did you end up finding it?

Both Weis in Gaithersburg, MD don't have pool chlorine :(

What brand and where in the store was it located?

For those of you seeing two gallons of 10% at Home Depot and Lowes for 6.86, which section of the store is it in and what brand is it?

No ponds, maybe a small creek about 10 houses down. The house behind me is a lot lower than mine is. Pretty flat in front of my house.

How do I find out that info?

I have an inground plaster pool. Can I drain 2/3 of the water without issue?

If the Walmart bleach is 128oz 6% for $1.77, that's 0.23/oz, which is a great deal. The 128oz 10% is now 3.64, which is 0.284/oz.

What brand was the 6% for $1.77? Do you have the Walmart DCPI number?

Where did you get that?

What is the item number?

Thanks for the advice! Will do!

Thanks. I don't mind leaving the pump on 24/7 for a week, but am concerned that it may do extra work if the skimmer basket and leaf catcher fill up. I suppose I can take the risk.

Yes, I have two floaters. I'll raise to shock level and put in pucks. I must get a lot of sunlight. Even with the pucks in, my FC drops from 4 to 1.5 every day with CYA at 32.

I'm going on vacation for a week and won't be running the pump because the pump is hard wired to a fuse box so I can't put a timer on. Advice on what I should do before I leave? Put in tri-chlor pucks? What should I raise my FC to before leaving? Shock level?

Thanks, all. The pool is clear now! Now I only need to maintain. These are my numbers. Is there anything that I need to do? FC 4 CC 0.5 TC 4.5 pH 7.5 CYA 32 CH 275 TA 80

Thanks, FC jumped from 6 to 17.5 after adding 128oz of 10% bleach. I thought my pool was about 14,000 gallons, but pool math says that if it jumped from 6 to 17.5, then my pool is 8700 gallons. I guess I need to keep testing to see what my actual pool size is. I measured about 31ftx15ft with...

So I don't need to put in baking soda to get it up while slamming? For Chlorine, can I put in way more than SLAM level at night so that by the time I get home from work, it's still at SLAM level?
